WHAT A FRIDAY!

HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A DAY LIKE TODAY COULD BE FRIDAY!

THIS WEATHER HAS ME TIRED TO MY BONES!
EVER HAVE THOSE DAYS?
I just came home from work, changed clothes, and got a couple of Tylenol and a hot cup of coffee!
HOPE YOUR DAY WAS MUCH, MUCH BETTER!!!
A Great Cup Of Tea!Have you noticed that children sometimes try to be helpful, but it makes your life more complicated?I heard a story about a mother who was sick with the flu. Her darling daughter wanted to be a good nurse. She fluffed the pillows and brought a magazine for her mother to read. And then she showed up with a cup of tea."You're such a sweetheart," the mother said as she drank the tea. "I didn't know you could make tea.""Oh, yes," the little girl replied. "I put the tea leaves in the water like you do, and I boiled it, and then I strained it into a cup. But I couldn't find a strainer, so I used the flyswatter.""You what?"And the little girl said, "Oh, don't worry, Mom. I didn't use the new flyswatter. I used the old one."
I wanted to share this uplifting story with you... hope you enjoy it!
Giving When it Counts…
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5 year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. the doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
Deep breathing and saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away”.
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
the things we admire in men: kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
(what a lucky little sister to have such a loving little brother)
